Show Notes

In this episode of the WP Builds podcast, I'm joined by Rae Morey once again to discuss various updates in the WordPress community, including the launch of a new event called PressConf, the release of WordPress 6.7, and significant acquisitions like Group One acquiring GT Metrics. We get into the legal battle between Automattic and WP Engine, the sudden shutdown and subsequent reopening of WordPress.org services, and contributions to the WordPress project. Additionally, we touch upon community contributions, the future direction of WordPress development, and even mention innovations in quantum computing by Google. Join us for an informative podcast as we explore what just happened in the WordPress world and beyond!
